From the recording Echoes from the Domain
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silver moonbeams drift through the night
Lighting the heavens
but not giving sight
From somewhere around me
where the veil grows thin
I hear a voice in the darkness
As the shadows close in
It steals a memory
echoing a friendly sound
Urging me to follow [pause]to follow it down
It's soft and sweet and knows me completely
[whisper] Come closer… no one can hear…
[Chorus]
Whispering hope
you sound like light in the distance
but every step you lure me
deeper in
Whispering hope
you promise dawn if I embrace you
yet I'm lost in the fog
and you're invading my will
[whisper] Say that you’ll believe me…
[Verse 2]
Curious figures shift in the dark
Changing their shapes
Eyes kept on their mark
From closer around me
The veil's grown so thin
I hear a voice in the darkness
as the shadows reach in
The memory it claimed
No longer that of a friend
And it urges me to follow [pause] to follow it in
It’s warm and low and knows my every secret
[whisper] you’ll never leave me…
[Chorus]
Whispering hope
you sound like light in the distance
but every step you lure me
deeper in
Whispering hope
you promise dawn if I embrace you
yet I'm lost in the fog
and you're gaining my will
[whisper] Say that you’ll believe me…
[Bridge]
You were never leading me out
Were you guiding me in
where lost things stay lost
and stars don't glimmer from within
Whispering hope
I feel the light surrounding me
Your words are as soft as the voice of an angel
Whispering hope
I promise my life I’ll never leave
Oh, how I welcome the voice of an angel
Whispering Hope
Oh, you're my whispering hope
Whispering hope...I love you
